| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I'd like to learn more about room treatments. Is there a commonsensical white paper or simple, rule of thumb article you recommend? Please don't steer me to threads that are a series of arguments. That kind of thing wears me out.Thanks in advance,... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I tend to do what my guests enjoy when I entertain, and mostly they want to have conversations. Regarding the rules of behavior, I think most would lean toward being a gracious host and putting your guest's wishes before your own. I generally list... | |

| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? I agree. I saw an early Jaguar (E type 4.2) at a wine festival and talked to the owner awhile. It was the most beautiful car I have ever seen. The lines were perfect to me, like it was designed out of a dream, I suppose it was. The owner said he l... |
